This is what works for me and I tried covering all my bases, but if I missed something...or confused the blazes outta you, let me know okay?
I relize the file size is huge, so sorry if that's a problem.

Think of it as my way of thanking you guys for sticking around so long [four years, geez]....if there's any other 'How-To's you might be interested in, let me know and I'll see if I can help or not.

Forgive any typos...knowing me I'm sure there's a few.
And I have no idea why I started drawing Darth Maul...weird whim I guess.

Thank you thank you thaaank you! I took a class on using Illustrator, but they never even mentioned coloring whole pictures in the program - they just told us to use Photoshop XD Anyway, this tutorial did me a world of good! Thanks again!

Anyway, I've been trying to work with Illustrator in my graphics design class but it has got to be one of the most dull programs. It's probably that I can't make a lot of brush strokes, plus the program is a little uncooperative. But this is pretty damn awesome, and no doubt it'll come in handy.

Woot- I've never coloured in illustrator before- I usually only use it for speech bubbles and stuff. doesn't look too bad ^^ I don't know how everyone will be with grasping paths though- I never really picked them up myself... They do all sorts of weird things to me >.>
